But with my new blog, I want to use Dynamic View's magazine layout... but I see that posts that appear on the homepage do not include each pic's caption... it will only show the main text of each post. See here on my test blog: http://crashtestblog-tmmmdi.blogspot.com/

The magazine view's snippets do not fetch caption text. The only way you can make it show some text in the front page is by actually writing a non-captioned text in your post. You could take some (extremely cumbersome) measures to hide this non-captioned text when the post is viewed in full, but why not just stick to it instead of the captioned ones?

ok I see, bummer :/ No worries. I just prefer to write for pics. I feel like it helps tell a story better... like a comic strip, ya know. Plus, when you move a pic, the caption moves with it.But I actually just noticed that when I write in caption in Dynamic Views, the caption falls into the post body anyway... and not within the borders of its pic. So I'll probably not use Dynamic Views anyway :(

We could have that changed. Let me know if you'd like to give it a try :)

YEAH!! Let's try it. Cuz I've been reading more and more about how better D-Views is getting (and still cannot find a magazine template (free or paid)out there that works for me) so I'd really like to use the magazine D-View!
